Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid device includes a main moving platform that moves in a reciprocating manner and an actuator that drives the reciprocating movement of the main moving platform. The moving head platform is linked to the main moving platform and at least one of a motion sensing device and a sound sensing device are either at or proximate to a moving head platform that is pivotally linked to the main moving platform. A logic circuit links at least one of the motion and sound sensing devices of the infant calming/sleep aid-device to the main moving platform whereby signals detected modulate movement of the main moving platform. A sound generating device is linked to the logic circuit.

Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid/SIDS detection device is provided that includes a main moving platform that moves in a variable manner with accompanying variable sound generation, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The device may also have a sensor for detection of pauses in breathing and/or detection of resultant biological changes related to breathing pauses and respond with appropriate stimuli to arouse the baby and allow breathing to recommence.

Abstract: An infant calming/sleep-aid/SIDS detection device is provided that includes a moving platform that moves in a variable manner with accompanying variable sound generation, the sound and motion adapted to calm a fussy baby, induce sleep, and maintain sleep under normal conditions. The moving platform is above a carrier and in contact with at least one bearing between the carrier and the moving platform, wherein the moving platform is rotatable in a plane substantially parallel to a major plane of the carrier in an oscillatory manner relative to the carrier and about an axis of rotation. A controllable motor controls movement of the moving platform about the center of rotation of the at least one bearing relative to the carrier, the motor including an oscillating post that engages with a guide track on the moving platform to cause oscillatory movement of the moving platform.
